The Dark Side

should i tell them should i let them know what i have inside me that nobody knows should i make a confession of all of my crimes and if i really do it will they drop a dime everything i'm thinking i think that they thought of too i'm so very sure that they all have a clue and when it comes to sinning i'm only just beggining waiting for time and the world to teach me something new the lust of the eye's and the pride of the heart the needs of the flesh invent the dark arts it is in the cerimony the worship, the ritual where we sacrifice to ourselves to satisfy our hearts to steal, to avenge, to fornicate with impunity to kill, to maim, to imprison a thing of beauty to lie, to cheat, to see but turn the other way to remember but forget who it is to we should pray to raise up our throne above almighty gods make ourselves rulers and that our only cause now you see the darkest side of me nothing new the twin of thee (Hey ! what happen to the dark poet contest that this was going into!!!)

wow, this has a powrful meaning in a way, how you write of the things we do just to satisfy our own, there are two ways it can go, either its selfish, and you are the only who doesn't see that. or you may be the only one who know of the real truth, while all else does not. -Always&Forever Lynette

Words of wisdom throughout this dark, yet witty poem. I enjoyed reading it John. I'm new to this site and can't figure out how to reply to people's comments to my poems.

It faded into the dark....they don't last long around here. Thanks for your comments on my attempts at comedy. I got the idea from somebody who wrote one on boxers. I says to self--one for the girls.

I think we all have a little of that dark side in us even though we don't want to admit it. We all fall at times to the darkness but should look for the light. God Bless Phyl
